COGENT's primary responsibility is a toolkit to support safe navigation by providing a soft real-time graphical display of ownship position and surrounding area. COGENT also provides an integrated, layered tool set to support various mission areas in harmony with the primary navigation operations. COGENT has much of the same functionality as its predecessor Integrated Charting Engine (ICE) and adds many enhanced capabilities, including support of third party applications through external software interfaces.
